Avoid Common Estimation Traps
Severely Overestimating Sun Peak Hours
Real-world environmental factors—such as roof structure, orientation, shading, and local weather—typically result in lower effective Sun Peak Hours. In West Malaysia alone, yield differences can vary by up to 25% between locations. Using inflated figures to project system production and savings is strictly misleading.
Disregarding Real Electricity Bills for Savings Estimates
Many installer representatives lack the expertise to calculate specific bill rebates based on actual usage. Instead, they often rely on guesswork or cite 'best-case scenarios' from other clients with similar packages. This is a significant source of misinformation.
Severely Misjudging Offset vs. Export Ratios
While high offset rates (self-consumption) allow for greater savings, this is only possible if energy is consumed at home during peak generation hours. Providing savings estimates that do not account for the user's actual lifestyle and load profile is a serious misrepresentation of value.

Mathematical Logic & Formulas
Solar Generation
Daily yield is calculated by multiplying system size with peak sun hours. We apply a bell-curve distribution weight across 24 hours.
Offset (Self-Consumption)
This is the electricity generated by solar that you use immediately. It reduces your consumption from the grid.
Export (Surplus)
Any energy generated but not used is sent back to the grid. This creates a credit in your TNB account.
Bill Reduction & Credits
Reduction is calculated by subtracting your new consumption from the original. Exports are credited at SMP rates (~RM0.27 - RM0.37).
The Science of Your Savings
We believe in total transparency. Most proposals use generic percentages, but we map your actual lifestyle blocks to simulated solar generation to find the "Missing Gap" in your ROI.
The Lifestyle Block
We take your monthly bill and divide it into 24 hour slots based on your inputs. If you set 2pm to "9", we assume your aircond is running and assign a proportional share of your daily kWh usage to that hour.
Solar Bell Curve
Solar generation isn't flat. It peaks at noon. We simulate a "Mountain Curve" (7am - 6pm) for your system size. We then layer this curve over your Usage Profile to see exactly where they overlap.
The "Price Gap"
Every kWh you offset (Self-consumption) saves you at the full TNB rate (~RM0.50). Every kWh you export only gets credit at the SMP rate (~RM0.27). Our audit reveals if your installer is over-promising by assuming 100% offset.
